Why are we here & What do we do about it?

Hello again my friends. It has been quite a delay between my meandering thoughts being posted here. I have been spending the latter half of the year dealing with some clients and escrows. I just didn't find myself in the mindset of wandering through those scary parts of my mind when I had the free time to be able to write.

So, days turned into weeks, which then turned into months. With the holidays bringing some quiet time and some renewed connections to past friends, I have the time and the energy flowing that brought me to this post. For anyone who missed the wild wandering of my amusing (crazy?) posts, I apologize for this absence. Ok, I'm done with my disclosures and excuses.

Anywho, I've been thinking about the two questions in the title of this post...Why are we here & What do we do about it? My first instinctive response would be that I don't know, but that would defeat the purpose of looking into yourself for the answers. I will try to look in there for this.

My answer to "Why are we here?" is to enjoy! Enjoy this world, the other people we meet, the things that we do and well everything! Enjoy helping, our self and more importantly others! Enjoy the love around us and the love we can give to others! If I could enjoy every moment of every day, I think I would be a pretty successful soul. So let me recap my response to why we are here...enjoy everything we see, hear, taste, feel, do, experience and give!

Now, What do we do about it? Well, I think it is as simple as following the advice from my answer within the previous paragraph. I will be looking to enjoy every moment of my time here. I have not only wandered though Laguna, but also though life. The one thing, that I have learned and truly believe is the golden rule of life, is that if every single person you meet is happier after you met them, then the world is enlightened and improved along with them! I love the feeling when I help someone...not the phony help where you are forced to help someone, but when you are helping someone you care for. The warm, happy feelings you get from helping someone you care about is the payment for your efforts. I don't believe Sacrifice (Definition for sacrifice: giving something you need for NOTHING in return) is the solution. Helping someone or giving something to someone, who can use that something, for your emotional or spiritual enjoyment is NOT a sacrifice. You were given something of value in return and the value could be even greater!

So, can we all look at life with this viewpoint? My answer is: YES! It isn't easy and I know that I'm not 100% there yet, but I am looking forward to trying. If we can all try every day and we then see the wonder and enjoyment of the world around us increase, then we can continue to move closer to that perfect world.

I look forward to seeing and leaving you with a grin on your face in the future! Thanks for reading and if you see me wandering through Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please say hi!!! Cole
